Supercharge Your Morning with This Cereal

A bowl of cereal isn't always the healthiest choice for breakfast. If you regularly kickstart your day with a brand that has the words "cocoa," "fruity," or "cookie," in its name, you already know there's room for improvement. But even if you're a fan of bran, you could get more nutritional punch from this cereal, created by award-winning raw-food chef, cookbook author, and runner Matthew Kenney.

It incorporates two of the most nutritious seeds for runners — chia and pumpkin. Chia seeds offer fiber (like your bran flakes) and omega-3 fatty acids (unlike your bran flakes), and pumpkin seeds are high in magnesium. Another ingredient, buckwheat, "is just an incredible food," Kenney says. "It's one of the most complete sources of protein."

Kenney — who says he runs five to seven miles every other day — considers running the most complete form of exercise. "If I go to the gym and lift upper body, I feel like I worked my upper body," he says. "With running, I feel like it's working everything, from lungs to skin to, you know, everything. It brings my entire body together."
